In lieu of flowers contributions may be made to the National Kidney Foundation of CNY, which was special to Kevin as he was blessed to be the recipient of a kidney from his wife.
I have fond memories of Kevin from our high school days. Kevin was the main culprit of my 1st knee surgery. It was all an accident, we were having fun in the snow and acting like typical teenagers, but due to that accident I’ve never forgotten him. I offer my condolences to his family and may you rest in peace Kevin.
Luann I am very sorry to hear of your loss, my prayers are with you and your family
LuAnn,

Luann, our thoughts go out with you and your children. I didn’t know Kevin all that well, but what I did know was that he was a great guy. My fondest thoughts of you guys is when you went to Darien Lake and forgot your tent. We had a little blue pup-tent and you guys used that. Then came over for a cookout, one of the best times that I ever had with any of my cousins. Take care and we will keep you in our prayers.
Love,
Mary & Tony
